SDN48: Eros no Trigger + Kodoku na Runner PV

SDN48 are following in the footsteps of their sister units by giving their fans more and more for their money.

When you purchase SDN48`s debut single GAGAGA you also get a number of coupling tracks all with their own videos.

Here is a couple to enjoy.

Why is it, when watching Eros no Trigger do I feel like I am watching the opening to a spy film.

Oh and for you fan service fans, pay close attention to this video around the 2:25-2:30 mark.

In addition, many members have changed their hair colors and styles


Kodaku na Runner is a live performance style video, both show that when it comes to video making that the 48`s are in this decade, and other challengers are still living in the past.

Are these two videos the greatest videos in music history? , no, however the music, look and feel is good and modern.

SDN48 fans seem to feel the same way as their debut single has a strong chance of reaching 60,000 for the first week. [EDIT - this single has Sold over 63,000 to date]

Indie Idol Groups Battle For Major Label Debut

Indie Idol Groups Battle For Major Label Debut

Ten Indie Idol groups are set to battle it out for major label fame, under the watchful eyes of talent management Horipro and television network Tokyo MX. This battle is called the "U.M.U Award 2010," and the competition will pit local idols from around the country against each other for the chance to make their major label debut.

You maybe asking yourself, what does a major talent management agency like Horipro have to do with ten unknown idol groups, locked in a pitch battle for a major label debut.

Well the answer is simple outside of being the sponsor, several of the unit’s members are under contract to Horipro and some even have a much bigger idol job as members of Idoling!!!


[Several of the Idoling!!! members also perform in regional idol groups owned by their talent management firms”]

For the most part the girls in these groups are simply looking for a chance to break out of their local and regional strong holds, to national fame.

Thanks to Horipro and the television network Tokyo MX, one lucky group will get that chance.

The final round of the audition is scheduled for December 27 at the Galaxy Theatre in Tennozu Isle, Tokyo.

Currently six groups have been selected, they are

* Ringo Musume (Aomori)
* Negicco (Niigata)
* Pieace (Saitama)
* Mira Maria (Tokyo)
* Nagoya Meibutsu! Aijou Iinkai (Aichi)
* PixyChicks (Nara)

Three more units will be announced later and the 10th and final unit will come from the "JUMP UP!! ~IDOL Pro Ama Battle Royale~" competition being held the day before the finals (December 26)

Cost wise the video gives off a feeling that the costumes cost more then the background ,still the girls find a way to bring out their charm and cuteness that ASE are known for.

This is one time, when the song and costumes are better then the finished video.

SUPER☆GiRLS: Debut In Trouble?

SUPER☆GiRLS: Debut In Trouble?

A troubling development has come out in regards to the SUPER☆GiRLS .Avex has announced that concert events scheduled for December 23 at the Namba Hatch in Osaka and January 9 at the Nippon Seinenkan in Tokyo after the release of their debut album have been canceled . Due to lower then expected ticket sales.


With more experienced and even younger idol groups going with singles releases over albums to create a fan base has Avex which is not an idol agency put this release in sales trouble by not having three or four maxi singles leading up to this album ,to create a fan base ?


With their debut album "Chouzetsu Shoujo," scheduled for release on December 22, SUPER☆GiRLS didn`t need their concert tour already starting to be canceled, before the album comes out.

Given this turn of events, a close watch on this unit and it`s future is needed.

Let us all hope that things can turn around for this promising new unit and that Avex does not decide to do something foolish like ,loose faith in them.

Morning Musume On Happy Music

Morning Musume On Happy Music


Here is a talk and performance clip of Morning Musume on Becky’s Happy Music program.

If you watch closely the talk segment, Aichan has full knowledge of the camera angles at all times and makes sure very calmly, the members are in the right spots, such as Eri.

Momoiro Clover Make MMA Predictions + Reni Unwell? .

Momoiro Clover Make MMA Predictions + Reni Unwell? .

This is a short video of Clover making their predictions on an upcoming MMA fight card. If you notice, Reni is looking unwell here. Recent news has come out of a questionable event done by Universal Records Japan.

It`s well known in the idol industry that idols face a weight limit to be active in most cases , not all mind you ,but a number of agencies have this rule.

The idol weight formula is traditionally this (Height -100) x0.9 ,however Universal reduced that to point 0.8 .For example Momoka`s “Idol weight” is this 147cm-100×0.8=37.6kg ,her last reported weight was 32.2kg

As part of this foolish media stunt, they weighed the members in public, everyone but Reni was under their “idol weight” Reni was 0.8 over and was ordered to cut weight and retake the test in two months.

When you look at her summer pictures to now, there is a noticeable difference in her face and weight .Enough for me to think there maybe something is not right with Reni.

Idols are under a tremendous amount of pressure to live up to these fantasy world expectations the industry has created for them. Publicly humiliating your talent is not something that should be a part of this industry.

I do not know if Reni is sick, however the signs are starting to point to her not reacting to that event in a healthy way. Reni is the oldest member and in the old idol rules, her days are considered less then her members .It doesn`t make it right, it`s just how it is. That alone is enough pressure to trigger unhealthy reactions.



Before the public test

After the test

Idoling!!! Expands Into Asia

Idoling!!! Expands Into Asia

Idoling!!! Are making the bold move of expanding into Asia. First up is Taiwan. Idoling!!! Will be releasing their television show in Taiwan as well as releasing photo books, CDs and even concerts are in the works.

The goal of this move is to make Idoling!!! “Asia’s Idol group” No word if this will mean out of country auditions .Idoling!!! Already has a Vietnamese descent member Fonchi; however, she was born in Japan.

Fonchi has become very active in promoting visiting Vietnamese artists inside Japan and has a growing fan base in her parent’s former homeland.

Start date for the Taiwan expansion will be announced at a later date.

Dream: Down One Member

Dream: Down One Member

The last original member of Dream has announced that she is leaving the group. Tachibana Kana has decided to leave the group to seek out a solo career.

Kana has  released the following statement.

“Although my dream to be a singer has been come true, it’s not the goal. I have to keep learning to be who I really want to be, and I want to keep singing, but in order to do so, I need to grow up more, not as Kana of ‘Dream’, but as Kana. Therefore, I will challenge myself to pursue my way as a solo singer.”

With her leaving of the group, and any future replacement, Dream will have no original members.

Tachibana`s last day as a member, will be at the end of their current tour on December 4th.

Kana is the one wearing a hat.

Dream: Hands UP!

As I have mentioned in past articles, it`s been a long hard road for the group Dream. Some months ago, the group Exile took over this group’s contracts and brand properties to rebuild and relaunch them, under their guidance.  

After loosing several  members Tachibana Kana is  the only member of the original dream, the group has for the last few months been on a rebirth or restart of their career by starting at the very bottom doing street and free lives, building up to live house and maxi single releases.

Their hard work is being rewarded in their first album as “new” Dream.

The album is called “Hands UP!”  And is on sale starting today [November 24th JST].

The album comes in three versions ‘CD-only’, ‘CD+DVD’, and ‘CD+DVD TRINITY Zill O’ll Zero’ edition. All first-press copies from any of the three formats will come with a special serial number; when this serial number is mailed in conjunction with the serial numbers from Dream’s past two singles [as the new lineup], fans will receive a special live DVD from their ‘~Road to dream~‘ tour!

This time the girls have created a wafer chocolate line called “AKB48 Wafer Choco” .Each package will feature collector cards. There are three versions of the wafer each designed by the individual teams, “Team A Wafer Chocó“,” Team K Wafer Choco” and “Team B Wafer Choco.”

Each team will have 18 different cards to collect, to collect the entire set it will take 54 cards at ￥105 a wafer choco package.

SUPER☆GiRLS: Who Made That Costume Again?

Ever wonder who designs the costumes that major idol groups wear on stage? I bet your saying to yourself it`s some cool, hip, major designer after all major companies have, major funding right?

Not so fast my friends ,the 48`s use a design school and the SUPER☆GiRLS also used a design school for their costumes .For the SUPER☆GiRLS black and gold costumes they teamed up with the Tokyo based Mode Gakuen school.

The students sent in 400 submissions, and the winning design was created in three different pattern styles to make up their black and gold costumes. The fabric itself came from the Meiji Era (established in 1905) fabric maker  Miyuki Keori, who specially made the color checked fabric for the group.

To say thank you to the hard working students, SUPER☆GiRLS took part in a mini live + fashion show. Avex announced that this was also the first time the brand new idol group had been exposed to modeling, an that the group showed their best to the fans despite the fact that the members being nervous.

AKB48 19th Single Radio Previews Team K

One of the great things about AKB48 is how they promote; it has gone a long way in making them without question the top female idol group." Beginner" is not even a month old and has reached 915,945 sales and promotions for the 19th single are in full force.

Yesterday I presented the main single "Chance no Junban" and the Team B coupling track "Love Jump" today it is Team K "ALIVE" and it is "ALIVE" fans .Team K brings to the table an up-tempo rock track ."ALIVE" is strong enough to be a lead track for any group.

With powerful supporting tracks, the management team of AKB48 have stacked the deck to make sure that the Janken single follows it`s sister singles in strong sales.

I am not going to say that this single will top "Beginner" however; the stage is being set for AKB48 to continue their record-breaking pace.


ALIVE

SUPER☆GiRLS: Debut Campaign

SUPER☆GiRLS: Debut Campaign

SUPER☆GiRLS have started a major record store campaign to support their December 22 debut album release, “Chouzetsu Shoujo“.

At TSUTAYA stores, they have been added to list of “Idol Festival” artists for 2010/2011. Their promotion will be that whenever a customer buys a CD from one of the idols on the list, they will be entered to win a SUPER☆GiRLS alarm clock. Only five of these will be available.

At HMV the group will appear in their free paper , “HMV the music & movie master“ ,they will also have their special online page and if you buy the album you can enter a lottery to win a handwritten Valentine’s Day card from their favorite member! To top it all off, they will be a part of the “HMV Idol Gakuen” campaign that will feature an exhibit in each HMV store of handwritten comment cards from the idols.

At Shinseido, you have a chance for autographed nameplates from the idol group along with a photo set where they each wore member their own name sign .12 will be given away. Five fans will have a chance to win an autographed photo set.

At Mu-mo, a special live event with the group will be held.

At Yamano and Tower a special live event with the group will be held

I cannot speak for everyone; however, I can name a few groups that could learn from the new idols coming up about marketing.

With promotions starting a month before their debut release, SUPER☆GiRLS look set to have a strong debut.

SUPER☆GiRLS: Miracle ga Tommanai! PV [Special Release]

UPDATE YOUTUBE VERSION NOW UP

SUPER☆GiRLS have released their debut single Miracle ga Tommanai! Through USTREAM, .The release came at the end of a mini live handshake event that was aired through their official channel.
SUPER☆GiRLS are regular users of that service and worth keeping in your links file. Only down side is that they do not keep their archive footage for a long time.

As for the video it`s your standard idol PV of the H!P standards that is a mix of close-ups and group shots , with CGI artwork .If you remember the gave up on H!P Taiwan unit Ice-cream Musume`s debut PV ,AVEX has followed that pattern some.

SUPER☆GiRLS are not blessed with the best singers in the world , yet that has never been a requirement for JPOP Idol genre .The industry has a number of weak singers and their success speaks for themselves.

What they do have is idol cuteness and a vocal mix of talent that blends well into a pleasing viewing and listening experience.

Hard to say how long this special release will be up, so if your interested in this group , check it out ,while you can .You won’t be disappointed in the overall single.

Player Note
[The video screen if black does not mean it`s deleted like with you tube .The picture will display when you select to play. All videos now play on this site for easy viewing]

Manaminorisa New Single Release: Polaris

Manaminorisa New Single Release: Polaris

Manaminorisa are returning with a new single called “Polaris / Sentimental Riot” and it will be released on the same day as Morning Musume and SKE48`s releases November 17.

Currently there is no PV preview and it is unlikely to be one until after the release as this is common for lesser-known groups and Indies.

So as we wait for a PV for those who picked up their CD from my earlier introduction of this up and coming group, I have done the next best thing, a mini live.

To pickup the new single
